Custom themes and plugins, headless WordPress with Next.js, WooCommerce and Shopify. Client work across India, the UAE, the UK and the US, from first brief to deployment.
Eight areas of work, each with the tools I use for it and an article that shows how I approach it.
Business websites on WordPress with a tidy admin, a content model that fits how your team actually publishes, and code that follows WordPress coding standards.
WordPress core, PHP, MySQL, custom post types, WooCommerce
Themes built from your design instead of bent from a template, and plugins for the features off-the-shelf options get wrong. Page builders like Avada, Divi and WPBakery when the project calls for them.
PHP, hooks and filters, Sass, JavaScript, shortcodes
Custom web applications, admin panels and APIs on modern PHP frameworks, with clean MVC structure, migrations, queues and tests.
Laravel, Eloquent, CodeIgniter 4, CakePHP, Composer, PHPUnit
Editors keep the WordPress dashboard they know; visitors get a server-rendered Next.js frontend. This site works that way.
WordPress REST API, Next.js, React, TypeScript
PSD and Figma designs turned into responsive, accessible components that match the design closely and stay easy to extend.
React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Sass, Bootstrap
REST APIs, webhooks and background jobs in Node.js and Express that connect stores, CRMs, payment and shipping services reliably.
Node.js, Express, REST, webhooks, MySQL, Redis
Storefront features, checkout customisation and theme work for Shopify and WooCommerce stores, so merchandising and layout match the brand.
Shopify Liquid, Online Store 2.0, WooCommerce hooks, HPOS
Finding why pages are slow or poorly indexed and fixing it in the code: metadata, structured data, sitemaps, clean markup, caching and lighter pages that pass Core Web Vitals.
Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, schema.org, caching, server tuning

Researching, scripting and publishing developer videos and Shorts with an AI-assisted workflow.
The same six steps for a new build, a move to headless, or a site that has stopped behaving.
We talk through goals, users, content and constraints. I ask the questions that change the estimate before any code is written.
A written scope: pages, content types, integrations, hosting and what “done” means, with an estimate you can check against.
Built in small, reviewable steps on a staging site, with progress you can click through rather than read about.
Cross-browser and mobile checks, forms and integrations, accessibility basics, W3C validation and page speed.
Launch with backups, SSL, redirects and search-engine setup, timed to avoid disrupting your traffic.
After launch: fixes, small features, updates and training for your team, so the site keeps working for the business.

How I run a daily developer video workflow: a Claude Code skill that researches, scores and scripts each topic with sources, then a small Node script and React components that sync the YouTube channel into a Next.js site with lite embeds, a Shorts feed and VideoObject structured data.
A practical structure for 30–50 second developer Shorts and Reels: the two-second hook, a script table with voice, on-screen text and visuals, honest titles and thumbnails, and a call to action that leads to your long video.
A repeatable way to pick YouTube and Instagram topics as a developer: where to look for fresh stories, how to verify them against primary sources, and a seven-point scoring table that decides what to make today.
Move slow work out of your Node.js API: BullMQ queues and workers on Redis, retries with backoff, concurrency and rate limits, repeatable jobs instead of cron, failed-job handling, graceful shutdown and monitoring.
How to build React components that work for keyboard and screen-reader users: labelled forms with useful errors, dialogs with the native dialog element, disclosure menus, focus management after updates, live regions and how to test it all.
Why Laravel pages get slow as data grows and how to fix it: finding N+1 queries, eager loading, selecting only the columns you need, the right indexes, chunking large jobs and caching expensive queries.
